This is a rather large 30″ radius clock on the wall in my study above my writing desk. I realised the batteries are running out as it is still ticking but running very slow; The time was 1:18pm when I took this. This has now triggered a mild OCD attack and I am about to reset every clock in my house because after checking the real time, I discovered all three clocks in my kitchen (Microwave, Oven and Wall Clock) were all registering different times. I shall be replacing the batteries and phoning the speaking clock so that I can begin the process of accurate time setting for all clocks in my house as soon as this has posted.
